2nd Newport Monkey Tree Sculpture

This was a 2nd tree sculpture for the Bellevue House in Newport, RI. It's a sitting monkey with a pool cue in one hand and a three ball under his left toes. The chair was a pseudo replica of the owner's desk chair in his bedroom. I'm not aware of the significance of the pool game and the 3 ball. But I do know the owner has a thing for monkeys in a political sense. The two carved monkeys are visible from the sidewalk across the street from the property entrance. It was a nice job to have.
